Due Date – March 31, 2017
Sign up - anytime until full but no later then Feb. 1, 2017
Withdraw – None, once signed up with a theme you’re in so PLEASE be sure you want to play
Number of Cards - 4 cards for a full group or 8 if you're playing 2 groups (4:4 or 8:8)
Number of participants - 8 groups of 5 players
To play you must have:
* an established positive iTrader rating of +15
* no negatives within the last 6 months
* no neutrals for lack of cards/communication within the last 3 months
* NO EXCEPTIONS so PLEASE don’t ask
Please sign up on the thread and read the directions before starting.
DO NOT over commit yourself. You may sign up for a maximum of 2 groups. Once you commit to a group, other players begin working on your card, so for this reason you cannot withdraw from a PAT. If you signed up and I don’t get your cards by the due date, you risk 5 negative iTraders (1 from each group member and your host).
Please give 2 weeks for mailing as I live in Europe. If your cards arrive late without communication, you will be given a neutral iTrader by me. Your cards will be returned to you and it will be up to you to honor the trade with your fellow group members or risk 4 negative iTraders.

- a Hostess card is not required, but always cherished and appreciated!
Mailing information:
- I’m from Slovenia, Europe so you all are pretty much international to me. Please give 2 weeks of mailing time for your cards to reach me.
- Per PAT rules, all cards must be mailed to the host. Please do not ask to mail to players directly for whatever reason as it is not allowed and will result in negative iTrader.
ALL participants:
- Please include a business-sized envelope, addressed to you or a large label with clearly written address on it. Please label the back of BOTH of your envelopes; the one you mail to me and your return envelope, with mid- JANUARY PAT, your AFA username, and your group number(s).
- Please include well concealed $2 US bills, if you are in one group. If you join 2 groups, please include $3 US. I also have PayPal, if it's more convenient to you.
(PS: Your country's stamps are of no use to me. I need to buy my country's (Slovenia) stamps to send mail.)
EASY/REGULAR THEMES:
- Generic themes where it's easy to think up a card; for example fairies, cats, dogs, flowers, etc.
- or less generic themes which require a little more thought or research but are not difficult to find a reference or collage images. Examples include: flying pigs with hats, red poppies, whimsical houses, nature fairies, etc.
- (Real people or characters in books or movies are not regular themes!)
- Themes that usually require research and reference. Examples are real people, "in the style of", characters from books or movies or perhaps obscure themes such as “Dogs in Victorian England.” They can also be themes that are difficult to interpret like music or a difficult poem. These can require a lot of thought and effort. If you have internet references please include the best one of them so I can post it for your fellow group members.
Remember that for PATs, when you get your lovely returns, the hostess (me) and all your fellow group members get iTraders!
